SAMPLE ROADMAP
This is Anna & Max's plan.
Anna & Max — a German couple with two kids, moving to Valencia on EU freedom of movement — no visa cluster at all, but school enrollment, registration, and healthcare still have an order. Get Camino turned their situation into the 12-step, deadline-aware roadmap below. Yours will look different: a few answers about your own move, and the same engine builds it just for you.

Start learning Spanish — book regular classes or a structured course (a local academy, an online tutor, or an intensive once you arrive). It makes daily life far easier, and builds the foundation if you later pursue citizenship.
